EPAT UPDATE!

The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts will host its next EnPleinAirTEXAS juried competition event in 2025.
Like the creation of a fine painting, we want to take a little time -- this year -- to work on the composition of this beautiful event!
We are currently seeking valuable feedback to discover creative ways to maximize benefits for the artists, sponsors, volunteers, patrons, and community.
We will host a smaller, exciting EPAT event later this year, the details of which will be announced in the next few months.
We promise to keep you informed! So, stay tuned for more information.
